Unfortunately, the problem with the X-titles is that we don’t always see the synergy outside of the greater Marvel universe of books. Also using Feilong, and by extension ORCHIS, Duggan’s including characters primarily dealt with in the X-titles. It’s something that can always ground these bigger-than-life stories. Substance abuse isn’t a rich or poor disease, it’s something that can affect anyone, and it’s this that was the zenith of Cantwell’s run, and it’s this that Duggan and Frigeri are using to build him up, despite them pulling him down. Some people argue that substance abuse can be overused, and yeah, there’s some merit in that argument, but it’s an angle that can strike home to readers, to both those who have/are struggling with it, or someone they’re close to having dealt with it. One of the best ways writers have humanized him was by having Tony deal with substance abuse. Trying to humanize Tony has had its ups and downs, and writers have found ways to connect to the readers by giving him health problems or losing everything, causing him to start from scratch and rebuild. Just money and this fact have been hard to shake off since. You don’t see sides when your bread and butter sells bullets and guns.

The Invincible Iron Man (Volume) - Comic Vine The Invincible Iron Man » 4 issues Volume » Published by Marvel. He’s a privileged white kid who grew up with one of the enormous fortunes in the world. Relatability to Tony has been an ongoing issue since his creation, and for a good reason. Duggan and Frigeri’s take on Tony seems to be someone down on his luck and could use a hand.
